...in the MA. :O
But of course Rooks can be glad that only very little advantage will be taken of that ;)

This is why I am not playing the game today, I play to have fun and this is Not fun for me - being on either side.

Shameless Star Trek reference !!!

LOL Drano I thought I was the only one who remembered Picard balling that line out!
-
If I ever get a kill I might yell that over range.. :D
-
Was epic fun thanks Flakhapy/Alchemist and Ghi for taking that zone base Epic!!!!!!!! :x :rofl
-
Never seen HQ down for so long and strats 0% is there a chart snail? :confused:
-
Oh but it didn't stop there. They continued to take as many rook bases as they could instead of trying to win the map. This ploy was designed to piss people off and it worked. It absolutely ruins the fun of others when this kind of lame BS game play happens. Its like a gang of 14 year olds jumping on someone and thinking they are so cool for beating up a single person. So pat yourselves on the back, keep it up and ruin the game for others. Wont be long before your the only ones there shooting at buildings with 1 or two uppers to fight you. Oh wait never mind you already do that.
-
Surfinn, I agree. I checked 4 times today, its just same old crap - no dar etc. Starting to think about checking into other games.

But rooks took tank town so all bish gvrs wanted to gv at strats :banana: :x :neener:

Actually......4 or 5 guys captured an entire island of about 5 bases but the rest simply hugged ack at a front line base with a cv just off shore.
It was fun using rockets on the ack towers and I later bombed down like 20 field's dars and white flagged a few towns just to keep them occupied defending nowhere near where the action was.
-
I logged on at 10pm CST last night and the bar dar was pathetic.. Ill give it some more time but something needs to change. Maybe it is time for a free subscription to get some warm bodies into the MA.
-
Strats - I dont care.
No dot dar - not too bad. Radar towers are dead most of the time anyway.
Hours going without bar dar - cannot find the fight and game is not fun.
I had to join missions to know where the fight was. Missions were botched because we had no idea if we were heading into an empty sector or straight into the entire Bish airforce (mental note: next time just follow the mission in a free ranging fighter, use the mission as bait and shoot at red stuff). Then, 2 minutes after finally engaging the red icons I die to puffy acks from the CV parked in the haze on the edge of my FE draw distance. Wonderful evening in AH.

So you were bish and not part of the missions. Yet you had fun WTG. I think that makes my point.
-
what goes around come's around :t ...there is a way to fix this stop complaining and start hammering away at bases around the strats and HQ and take them back
-
Its like a gang of 14 year olds jumping on someone and thinking they are so cool for beating up a single person.
yeah, some people working together to grief you in an online game is exactly like being physically assaulted by a gang
-
Hmm I remember just month ago bish had 4/5 bases......knitrook didn't even have a dar bar or base flashing. :x :neener: :bolt:
-
Surfinn, I agree. I checked 4 times today, its just same old crap - no dar etc. Starting to think about checking into other games.
Men of War: Assault Squad 2 due out next quarter. If they enable a campaign instead of pure skirmish mode I'll be all over that, skirmish is fine, but a dynamic story is fun too.
I just got the first MoW for $1.99
I thought Theatre of War was a better campaign as if you kept your guys alive you could continue with them through the war. Seems like 1C decided to go away from the campaign modes, but we'll have to see with MoWAS:2

Rook point of view. Bish slapped us silly. :noid
-
The horde ALWAYS wins.
-
Sometimes your the windshield, sometimes your the bug. It happens to everyone.
Did you guys threatning to leave counter-attack or try to slow them down? The bases they were going after must have been flashing despite lack of radar or did I just give away a big map reading secret only we advanced players know?
-
Today's/tonight's map be told, an honest, truthful story.
The most huge compliment the enemies of the bish can pay on recent daily basis is that the rooks and gnats have to double-team bish to survive -- and that with only slightly larger numbers during the mid-day US and outnumbered during evenings US prime time.
Rooks, remember the backside whoppin' you got today and think about it every time you decide to warm shower and slow dance with the gnats and gang/double team bish that there will be a price to pay.

Shh, no more tears. Only dreams.
-
It was fun and a unique opportunity to perform missions you rarely get a chance to perform and see and attack what you normally don't.
Some bish complained because they wanted to simply run the map.....again instead of trying something different.

There is a price to pay only for playing the game itself. As a rook I certainly had fun. Great defensive fights we had against knight of the north. Bishes had their "fun" in the east of the map while our little finnish group had great fun with knight trying to capture some of our shore fields. <S!> guys, had a great time :salute
-
If the maps are smaller things will happen like this all the time. You have always got to expect the enemy to be there. Maybe this would be a good time to up a defense mission or even a random base capture.. Up a 262 from a far base. since there are so many other bases around.
All them complaining that the other team beat them in a world strategy map is hilarious...
I give it to the fighting bish and all of the squads for a nice take down!
-
No, it's a petty, childish way of playing. What the Bish did today is why they are considered the crap of the game.

HAVE to double team to survive. That's some funny arse koolaid they servin ova der. Take the furball away from the Knights and Rooks for one day, Bish will get pounded, even 3v1 odds in your favor. Your side doesn't bring the horde because everyone has so much skill. I can only name a handful of Bish pilots that over the past 18months I have grown a respect for the ACM/skill. Respectively a couple dozen on each of the other two sides. I know, I know, this is my perspective, as is yours above. :salute

thanks to the OP you made something happen I have never before. Surfinn complain.

:banana: :banana: :banana: It was all Ghi's managing..I was there for encouragement...Hahah!! Buttholesurferdude..U asked for it..The Ghi Bishop's Bannana Bus!! :banana: :banana: :banana:
-
It's just a result of the current game dynamic. Bish have become boring to fight for both Knits and Rooks. So the Knits attack the Rooks to get a good fight going and the Rooks don't have enough players to fight on two fronts. I likened it to WW2 Germany.
Many Rooks just could care less the Bish were rolling bases. They found fun Fights at the Knit front. There is no penalty for losing a Map anyway. Who wants to spend the night getting bombed or vulched on the runway.
Lets Change the Dynamic of this game and force the players to engage in combat.
How about the holy grail that all players want? Fighter Perks! Attach Fighter perk bonuses to Ammo Bunkers destroyed and then more players will go out of their way to "Stop the Horde by Porking the Ord". :aok
-
I just think of it as creative griefing. Not unlike the other day when GBlade and buddy switched to Bish, rallied some help in taking a zone base and moved Bish strats to the front. There just happened to be a Nit CV on hand. :t
-
Anyone else completely clueless as to what SirLoin is attempting to say or is it just me
:rolleyes:
-
It's just you :neener:
-
nits and rooks should ignore the bish for a couple tours. They get good fights and bish can roll undefended bases. Everyone is happy.
I think sirloin is proud. jokers are his family, hording his life.
-
Knits and Rooks ignoring the Bish. That would be a switch. Normally they ignore each other.
-
The past few days of this map is pretty much a poster for all that's wrong with the current game dynamic. Bish rallied their typical horde and rolled bases. Meanwhile, gains that had been made by Rooks earlier in the week were reversed by the newly formed hordes the Knight front. All week on every front I found myself heavily outnumbered anywhere I could find a fight. (when I could find one with no Darbar) On the occasions the darbar was active, views of the Northern Bish/Knight front revealed little to no activity and both Rook fronts covered by heavy red darbars.
I spent the better part of last night on the Bish front trying to rally any support in gaining any territory back. The prevailing wisdom was that the southern front was too heavily defended to make any gains. So, in typical Aces High fashion, rather than try to battle it out and win territory, missions were directed instead at undefended bases which is pretty much SOP in the MA anymore.
To summarize: Hordes rule the day. But not good fighting hordes. Rather the kind of hordes who direct all their effort into avoiding any kind of combat at all. And now there is a new way to prolong the torture of the side who is getting gang raped by the other two sides.
-
No, it's a petty, childish way of playing. What the Bish did today is why they are considered the crap of the game.
Nice of you to say -- since all three sides do it.
In the lobby there are very large shoe horns for getting one's head disloged from sand.
-
if one country only needs 2 or 3 bases to win--then win it instead of dragging it out--or loseing there own bases just to make it harder for them to win..2 or 3 times this week the bish and the rooks each had chances to win that map-and purposely did not do it..that is not right...and thats the kind of crap people don't like--play to win the map--win it-move on to the next map--rinse and repeat.maps are set to auto rotate after 5 days--i think---it should be changed to 4.trinity is the only map i don't mind playing for 5 days.nuff said.. :joystick:

You boys are just being silly. Please take responsibility for your own fun, look on your fellow players with kindness and have a bit of patience with the game and you won't be so frustrated. I love that this game is a challenge, you can control nothing but yourself. Gameplay is transitional, you won't always be able to do exactly what you want to do all the time. Go with the flow, or you will just tire of swimming upstream and getting nowhere.
Merry Christmas :salute All

In a perfect world I would agree, but what the Bish did wasn't trying to win the war, they went out of there way to roll Rook bases just to pizz them off. I love to fight, win or lose it doesn't matter..... who am I kidding I love to WIN! :x But going against a horde isn't fighting, especially the Bish horde. They don't bother to fight back. They mindlessly divebomb/lawndart them selves over and over base after base. Wheres the fight in that?
Nice of you to say -- since all three sides do it.

All three sides have their hordes, but griefing a country because you had a big horde and could isn't what the other hordes do. If they had put that effort into winning the war they while it's just another horde run by the Bishops, it isn't pushing that greifing button.
....and if you don't believe that the bish didn't do this to tick off the rooks, you might want to use that shoe horn you mentioned.

This is the reason I decided to unsub last month. I needed a break from the game, but the longer I'm gone, and the more I think about it, the less I want to return.
In my opinion the game play is exactly as described here -- stagnant. The "culture" of the different sides, has stagnated the MA. All sides are NOT the same, because the style of play of various squads is quite different -- and most don't switch sides. This make it true that the best "fights" are usually on the Knit/Rook front and the style of game play of the largest Bish squads is simply not fun fighting most of the time. It's always horde or hide for them. Their consistent bombing and bailing and suicide style play is really the worst. Sadly the Jokers and Alchemists, now with the former vGuys added to their ranks, perpetuate this in two ways 1) that they never switch sides and 2) new players start Bish, join their mission and get recruited, so it tends teach and encourage this style of play. I know new players who were taught to bomb and bail by them. They have no interest in what type of game their behavior makes for the rest of the community, so sadly this will not change.
I love flying and fighting in Aces High. I just hate the Main Arena game play now. Flying FSO, training with my squad, helping out in the TA, all those things are fun, but most of my squad (and a lot of FSO participants from what I see) don't bother with the MA because it is so bad. The MA should be the heart and soul of the game. It is where most players spend most of their time, especially NEW players. Sadly, it shows the worst of the game more often than not.
Until bomb-and-bailing is a thing of the past, I have very little enthusiasm to re-activate my account and fly Aces High again. I'd like to see something that penalizes the 1000lber kamikazes (like perked heavy ords). I'd really love to see some sort of "aircraft-in-flight" limits per base too, to thin the hordes some. These things have all been suggested before. I'd resub the moment these were put into effect. As it is, meh, Aces High was fun for a while.
My two cents.

Good grief. This game sets you back all of 50 cents a day. Like anything else in life, there's positive and negative. Play it the way it is or be a means productive influence in terms of change.
As a 12 year vet, nothing really has changed overall over the years other than the ever increased volume of whining as per _others_ not playing the "right way".
Do what you do in terms of having fun. Shoot the bandit coming straight at you for a HO shot. bomb**** GV's at will at the spawn. Just for crissakes, stop whining & dictating how others should be having fun with their 50 cent @ day investment.
Thanks...and have a merry Christmas :rock

Max is right on. Play the way you like and fight the style you enjoy. The only wrong way is to beat your chest on 200 or put down others.

I was trying to be a "productive influence in terms of change" -- by stating my opinion and offering 3 very specific suggestions I feel would help with some of these issues others (in addition to myself) perceive with the game. In my 4 years in Aces High, I've tried to be a positive influence. I've made bug reports and wish-list suggestions that have been implemented to the game. I've helped players in the Training Arena. I've answered questions and posted help in the help forum. I've PM'd players who I think may be new and answered their questions if they have any. I think my contributions to the game give me just as much right to express my opinion as anyone.
As a four year vet, I believe the increased volume of complaints corresponds to an increased level of the problems I described. It is my opinion the stagnation factor I described has gotten worse. You don't seem to perceive that or care, which is nice for you. I'm glad that suicide style play, hording and bomb and bailing don't bother you. I guess you've had 12 years to get used to it. But that doesn't give you the right to simply dismiss others' complaints and suggestions. In my opinion a more "positive influence in terms of change" would either suggest ideas or explain why these ideas wouldn't make a positive impact. Your dismissive approach doesn't fit that bill in my opinion.
I'm happy for you that you like (or tolerate) the game as it is. I no longer do. And it's not a matter of the cost. That attempt to cheapen my argument won't work. It's not a matter of cost - it's a matter of how I want to spend my time. The game could be free, but I wouldn't want to spend my time in the MA as it is. I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way, hence the "volume of whining" that bothers you so much.

Besides, knights have some great sticks amongst them, unlike bishes that rely pretty much on horde tactics. Btw. cheers wizer and killnU - great opponents and good fights we had back in the shores. And its true, bish front can be pretty much ignored (who wants to fight a horde that drops bombs so eagerly they take the planes to the ground with the bombs etc). Thats pretty much my rook opinion.

fixed :devil

I've been here 13 years and I have seen the change. You may not want to admit it has changed but it has. While we have ALWAYS had HOing and hordes they were not the norm it has become now. I remember many fight that had not a single front quarter shot let alone a strait up HO, today it is the expected move. Hordes were "planned" things were squad leaders would email each other to set up a day... usually a Friday or Saturday to see how many squads they could get together to coordinate a huge attack force. They called them MSO's and such (Multi Squad Ops). Now they happen when ever someone posts a mission.

Again, well said. It is also the thinking I'll bet that most players leaving today have.
-
Fugi think back 10-11 years ago. Remember Ripsnort/Fariz/AK/The Damned/MAW missions, HQ raids? I recall a Ripsnort mission on NDIsles that had 50+ attackers hitting a "win the war" base that won the map.
The only difference I see (most of the time) now is a lack of defenders.
-
I agree it happened back then, especially the "win the war capture" (which we no longer have), but it didn't happen all the time. The win the war base capture today COULD be that same 50 players hitting 3 bases at the same time only needing one capture to win. It wouldn't make defending that attack any easier, but it certainly would be a lot of fun trying!
-
So you're suggesting that THE HORDE should be divided into smaller groups?
-
So you guys are complaining because something different happened rather than the same stale map rolling?
It was refreshing to do something different even if I died far more often and sent my score down the drain.
I'm not here for score.
I am here to have fun and.................. I did have fun.
Now you can go back to your sending 3 cv to die at the same field over and over without mounting a proper attack and flying super careful to enhance score but remember that every non-standard situation can be harnessed to achieve your goals regardless of what you goals are.
You just have to change your approach and that's what the whiners are whining about........the fact that they couldn't fly the same stale mission profiles and had to actually use some creative intellect.
Those who couldn't find a way to extract fun from that situation are whining and missed an opportunity because of their own limitations.
-
So you're suggesting that THE HORDE should be divided into smaller groups?
If it was me, YES and forcefully and with out prejudice !!! :devil On the other hand I'm smart enough to know that the horde is a function of the game and is a place where most players start out....safety in numbers and all that. Whats needed is a way to make those players move on to bigger and better things BEFORE they get bored and quit. Whats better for game play, 50 lemmings who know only how to lawndart, or 50 players who know how to bomb, fight, and survive to "win the day!"?
I think smaller battles would make game play better in that it would help teach players to get better at ALL aspects of the game instead of doing the same old thing time after time. It would also have the added effect of increasing the number of fights. And on top of that, as the players learn more and more then the quality of the fights would get better. Defenders would have a chance to beat back an attack and so more people would defend. Capturing a base would be a hard won battle and so I think more enjoyable for the accomplishment.
-
Besides, knights have some great sticks amongst them, unlike bishes that rely pretty much on horde tactics.
I respectfully disagree. All sides have some great sticks amongst them.
As a Bish I've flown alongside Shane, Skyrock, Steve, TonyJoey and a host of others.

ya ghi missions took the island next to the hq and its was his idea to grab the zone base
hoping it would put rook strats in our lap all in fun and it worked, who wouldnt try that?

Yep you worked to horde your way through a few more lost accounts. WTG while it lasts!

So you're suggesting that THE HORDE should be divided into smaller groups?
YES.
And it would only take one simple game mechanic to do that: Aircraft Basing Limits. Once the number of aircraft in flight from a base hits the limit, additional aircraft can't launch from that field.
It could be scale-able based on arena pop, so that it isn't quite as limiting when large numbers are in the arena. It could vary by the size of the field, making large airfields more valuable/useful (something that doesn't matter strategically now). It could have a timer before the loss of a plane is deducted from the "in flight number", meaning the first lemmings to die can't just re-up immediately. This might make survival more important and give an incentive to defenders to try to attrit the attackers. (Make this exclusive of bails without damage, to avoid abuse.)
There are lots of advantages to this as I see it: spreading out the fight, giving defenders a viable chance at defense, and most importantly placing importance on staying alive instead of augering into a hanger, as losing an aircraft has an impact on your operations.
Implementing something like this would spread out the fights some and incentivize surviving vs. suicide/kamikaze/bombnbail type play.

I deeply regret having started this thread. Doing a light hearted comment on a very extraordinarily rare event, and getting so much BS, exaggerations, made up stuff and utterly hypocritial posts in return that I almost want to throw up. I tried to reply on some of them in particular, but I felt I would get an instant PNG for every one of them, so I leave it at that for the moment.

HAVE to double team to survive. That's some funny arse koolaid they servin ova der. Take the furball away from the Knights and Rooks for one day, Bish will get pounded, even 3v1 odds in your favor. Your side doesn't bring the horde because everyone has so much skill. I can only name a handful of Bish pilots that over the past 18months I have grown a respect for the ACM/skill. Respectively a couple dozen on each of the other two sides. I know, I know, this is my perspective, as is yours above. :salute
Good luck with that.

There is a price to pay only for playing the game itself. As a rook I certainly had fun. Great defensive fights we had against knight of the north. Bishes had their "fun" in the east of the map while our little finnish group had great fun with knight trying to capture some of our shore fields. <S!> guys, had a great time :salute
:salute

If it was me, YES and forcefully and with out prejudice !!! :devil On the other hand I'm smart enough to know that the horde is a function of the game and is a place where most players start out....safety in numbers and all that. Whats needed is a way to make those players move on to bigger and better things BEFORE they get bored and quit. Whats better for game play, 50 lemmings who know only how to lawndart, or 50 players who know how to bomb, fight, and survive to "win the day!"?
I think smaller battles would make game play better in that it would help teach players to get better at ALL aspects of the game instead of doing the same old thing time after time. It would also have the added effect of increasing the number of fights. And on top of that, as the players learn more and more then the quality of the fights would get better. Defenders would have a chance to beat back an attack and so more people would defend. Capturing a base would be a hard won battle and so I think more enjoyable for the accomplishment.

What is it with you people? Are you too stupid to read and comprehend what I typed??? I never said ANYONE has to play my way!! IDIOTS!
Lets look at it this way should HTC change the way the game is played so much that you couldn't play the way YOU want, would you continue to play/pay? I don't think so. So at this point as the game continues the way it is it is driving more and more people away because THEY can't play the way they want.
Don't you think there should be a compromise so EVERYONE can play the way they want? Or do you just want it to continue on the way it is until there is a single horde running around grabbing base until HTC closes the doors?

Yes and since YOUR way seems to be a great way to diminish AH user base you can continue playing the game the way YOU want and WE others stop subscribing and move on. AH will be the private playground of a bunch of hordelings and spawn raped 2 weekers that stay as 2 weekers.

The bottom line here is that the number of fights will not increase without an increase in the number of subscriptions. If HTC can't attract new subscribers the doors will close. I see no advertising for this game in any of the media that I watch, I asked my nephews (6) of them, in that 15 to 25 age group and they have never heard of the game. I see no desire on the part of the game provider to offer something new to a potential customer to induce them to subscribe. I've been here a long time and aside from a few changes that HTC imposed to control game play alone the way, essentially the game remains unchanged and we play with the same basic rules that we have always used.
There have always been Hordes , but at the same time there were so many more subscribers that the horde went pretty much unnoticed. Today with so few subscribers, the horde accounts for a larger portion of players at any one time. So now there are people who claim they can't find a fight because of the horde.
Oh and I guess the furballs that I see aren't two hordes mixing it up, but rather are considered individual combat? To me it just looks like two hordes on their side going around in circles.

Exactly, two hordes and there are 3 countries. Which usually means two larger countries horde the smallest one effectively killing any hope of gameplay for the one 'in the bucket'.

I think HTC are waiting until the new terrain engine is released (and perhaps some separate updates that go with it), before they make any commercials.

Zone limits will not stop a hoard attacking a base. Zone limits in Air Warrior (exact same system that you're describing) didn't stop the hoard, it's not going to suddenly work and stop them in Aces High.

No, it's a petty, childish way of playing. What the Bish did today is why they are considered the crap of the game.
Oh how we forget so soon. Several months backs rookettes/nitwits had bish down to the 3 uncap bases and the was not a fight to be seen on the rookette/nitwit side. So lets see, who is childish and the CRAP of the game??????

It's just a result of the current game dynamic. Bish have become boring to fight for both Knits and Rooks. So the Knits attack the Rooks(are you kidding me) :x to get a good fight going and the Rooks don't have enough players to fight on two fronts(again, are you kidding me) :x. I likened it to WW2 Germany.
Many Rooks just could care less the Bish were rolling bases. They found fun Fights at the Knit front. There is no penalty for losing a Map anyway. Who wants to spend the night getting bombed or vulched on the runway.
Lets Change the Dynamic of this game and force the players to engage in combat.
How about the holy grail that all players want? Fighter Perks! Attach Fighter perk bonuses to Ammo Bunkers destroyed and then more players will go out of their way to "Stop the Horde by Porking the Ord". :aok

Personally I enjoy it when they bring the fight to me. Saves a ton of time flying to the fight.
The biggest problem we have in game right now is the lack of peeps willing to actually fight.
85% of them look behind themselves while following you and when they can't see at least 4 friends coming to help, they turn back.
Easiest cure I can think of for that is remove score entirely. But of course that'll never happen.
That particular evening I was racking up at least 15 kills per hour and had a great time. Sure I died alot but who freaking cares. :aok

Are you telling me that player numbers are conspiring against us also? I remember the 'good old days' when numbers were regularly something like 80-50-20 with bish-knits-rooks being the split. The bish basically had twice the numbers of the second largest country and four times the number or rooks. This meant that the bish were steamrolling two fronts and the knights who werent defending against bish were attacking rooks together with bish. Many days you could see no red bars on bish/knit borders despite the staggering numbers.
-

Please stop making stuff up. The numbers are actually never "like that', and Bish are frequently outnumbered as well.

You are right and every single other other person who plays the game is WRONG.
HOW DARE THEY play the game in any way that disagrees with you. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM? Are they all so stupid that they don't read the "AH Gospel According To Fugi"? All players need to bow and kneel to the "way of honor" you speak OF and everyone else is WRONG. Ad infinitum--ad nauseum.
HOW DARE the other players have an opinion, style of play, money, subscription, on their own. They must all be insane. Especially the words of one who states the does not dictate how others MUST play the game according to them--and then in the next sentance belittles anyone and everyone who doesn't play like you do.
Keep up the incessant whining, crying, and bellyaching.

Dear whiner:
Please let me know wher some 300 player's $15 BUCKS A month subscription will go to be PAID ON YOUR DIME so they canplay exactly how you want them to. Please be advised if you cannot scratch that monthly check you will have to come to the eventual conclusion...
that YOU...do not, cannot, will not force hundresds of other players too play how you want them to play and you doo not, even in a billuion years control how other players play their subscription.
Or I can post that again as manyu times as the whiners post the whining.
Pull up your big boy pants and play the game.
You will not, can not, shall not change other players right to play their on sub.
But keep Kleenex in business anyway.
Good Luck with that

BTW: until the day comes you can back up your mnassive assumptions with 100% accuracy in perfect polls of perfect data of what whining you claim is "destroying the game" "destroying gameplay" "destroying the fight:"l....then please ADMIT PUBLICLY that what you state as truth is merely your own personal opinion and nothing more.
My opinion is just as valid as anyone else with out prooful data.

OK for the really old, stupid people I'll spell it out for you....
Please post where I have said anyone has to play the way I said.
This is where you clowns get it wrong. I never said anyone has to play MY way. I have suggested many alternative ways to play this game that seem to be ignored (the ways to play, NOT me doing the suggesting....just trying to keep things clear here). Instead of seeing these "other ways" you see the same crap over and over. While I don't spend my limited time in the game keeping hard numbers like Lusche does I do have a good memory and know what I see week after week. And the numbers we can check out are continuing to drop.
If the game which has turned more and more toward horde missions is so good, why aren't people staying and playing?
My opinion is that as more and more often we see ONLY one type of play and people are getting bored and so leave. Whats your theory? My SUGGESTING other ways to play isn't TELLING anyone they should. I think they may find it fun and challenging, but maybe they don't have the skills to play any other way. GHI, Joker and who ever is running the Alchemist missions are most likely looked up at as great mission leaders on the Bish. I wonder how they would do if they had to go head to head instead of just looking to grab bases. As another SUGGESTION, pick 5 bases along the front in a group with the mission for the next 5 hours to capture and hold them bases. And let the guy on the other side KNOW you are going to try and do it. :devil Are they good enough? do they have the skill to pull it off? Do they have the balls???? or Are they afraid of a little competition? Well they go off saying that isn't how they play the game?
To me trying to do the 5 base thing would be a great night and be far more fun than rolling a bunch of bases with little or no effort. I think if you saw more of those kinds of missions you see more and more people logging in JUST TO SEE what was going on. Just in case they might miss something.
On the other hand if running horde missions is the game plan that's ok too..... as long as there is a counter to it that is fun. It is a game and we should be having fun. Make porking troops and ords fun. Put their name in lights for dropping them and RTBn. Give big perk/points for it. Have an early warning system to give defenders a 5 minute warning to get into position and grouped up for an attack.

And who are you in the game? Do you even play? You haven't been a member of the boards for a year yet, do even have a clue as to what any of us are talking about?
Only "bash" people who seem to thick headed to look at a different point of view. Some people seem to enjoy hiding their head in the sand and ignoring simple facts right in front of their faces. Their idea of a discussion is repeating the same phrase... "stop telling people how to play".

I might be mistaken (English lessons in school are long ago and I never really payed attention), but if "Who" is referring to "The horde" (which you seem to imply), shouldn't it be reading "Which"? :headscratch:
The who I'm referring to is an entity, the Bish, then Rooks. So no it would not be which. It would be which if we were saying which one wins more. What I did though, was to forget to insert a ? instead of a periold, should have read; Who wins all the maps?
Idk if you have the stats on that, but I bet its about 64% Bish, 34% Rooks and 2% Knight.
The above aspect is one that I don't really care about, I don't have enough time anymore to fly to win the map or even make much of a contribution. When I can, I'm logging in to get into a good scrap. But I will say the above is not a good thing for new blood. I started as Bish and it was impossible to get a kill flying with the horde, they're too quick, and yes gents, not all of the horde lawndarts, some get a lot of kills. Anyhow I switched to Rooks and found it was a great place, and a lot of great people, but a few that also really stink the place up, but many there willing to help me/others learn. My affinity toward Luft ac lead me to Knights where I discovered there is almost no organization and nearly everyone does what they feel like. Anyhow, my point here is that: ^ that stat is a turnoff for new blood, imo.
Nobody really seems to actually care though so MERRY CHRISTMAS! Things will remain the same, until they don't.

Map wins is what I was referring to, not population.
Also, a holiday is not indicative of the norm.

Your horde is from 77 to 38 in your own screenshot. :rolleyes:

All the sides MUST form hordes, because there is no other way to get a defended base but to totally shut it down in a mass-attack.
An other thing is, i have never ever seen anything else from the bish side, even a 100 plane raid on a damned port with no airfield within 300 miles (the port on the southwest corner on the old trinity).

A horde is a horde. Never called it "teamwork".
Read the first line of my previous comment you quoted. And yes, bish are the ones who horde the most, often switching fronts to avoid the contact with the defenders. Its more than often a bunch of skillless lemmings who have zero knowledge about how to win an aerial dogfight.
Respect to the few exceptions.

Considering we Bish horde so much and none of the other countries do how is it that I almost always find myself flying alone into a horde?
:airplane: :joystick: :eek:

Bald, please stop hording all on your own - that is all :lol

It happens to the knights too and quite a bit. Rooks were totally focused on the knights for several days and Bish were totally focused on the Rooks.

OK for the really old, stupid people I'll spell it out for you....
Please post where I have said anyone has to play the way I said.
This is where you clowns get it wrong. I never said anyone has to play MY way. I have suggested many alternative ways to play this game that seem to be ignored (the ways to play, NOT me doing the suggesting....just trying to keep things clear here). Instead of seeing these "other ways" you see the same crap over and over. While I don't spend my limited time in the game keeping hard numbers like Lusche does I do have a good memory and know what I see week after week. And the numbers we can check out are continuing to drop.
If the game which has turned more and more toward horde missions is so good, why aren't people staying and playing?
My opinion is that as more and more often we see ONLY one type of play and people are getting bored and so leave. Whats your theory? My SUGGESTING other ways to play isn't TELLING anyone they should. I think they may find it fun and challenging, but maybe they don't have the skills to play any other way. GHI, Joker and who ever is running the Alchemist missions are most likely looked up at as great mission leaders on the Bish. I wonder how they would do if they had to go head to head instead of just looking to grab bases. As another SUGGESTION, pick 5 bases along the front in a group with the mission for the next 5 hours to capture and hold them bases. And let the guy on the other side KNOW you are going to try and do it. :devil Are they good enough? do they have the skill to pull it off? Do they have the balls???? or Are they afraid of a little competition? Well they go off saying that isn't how they play the game?
To me trying to do the 5 base thing would be a great night and be far more fun than rolling a bunch of bases with little or no effort. I think if you saw more of those kinds of missions you see more and more people logging in JUST TO SEE what was going on. Just in case they might miss something.
On the other hand if running horde missions is the game plan that's ok too..... as long as there is a counter to it that is fun. It is a game and we should be having fun. Make porking troops and ords fun. Put their name in lights for dropping them and RTBn. Give big perk/points for it. Have an early warning system to give defenders a 5 minute warning to get into position and grouped up for an attack.
Please feel free to use the "search" option of this forum in the upper right hand area of the forum. I neither have the time, efffort, or room in a single post to report each and every single post whining, crying, complaining, and bellyaching from that single forum ID about how much of a travesty it is that people do not play like you want them to.
The simplest way is to do the search option and whittle out the cartoon threads. The forums will not allow a single post to include them all.

And who are you in the game? Do you even play? You haven't been a member of the boards for a year yet, do even have a clue as to what any of us are talking about?
Only "bash" people who seem to thick headed to look at a different point of view. Some people seem to enjoy hiding their head in the sand and ignoring simple facts right in front of their faces. Their idea of a discussion is repeating the same phrase... "stop telling people how to play".

Ahhh good your that new guy who knows everything. Please use the search button and locate any post where I tell anyone how to play. Obviously Rox has no idea how to read nor work the search himself. There is a very big difference between telling people how to play and complaining about poor game play. Do you know the difference or are you one of Rox's little lemmings? You never did give your name.

Doesn't matter what YOU do, you were snidely referring to Rooks have 40 extra players as the definition of horde, yet in your own screenshot there's a big bish horde hording rooks.
Personally I don't care, the horde enables me to find an eny that doesn't run away. But don't come here and tell how other teams horde you if you fly Bish, your side is the definition of hording (in most cases.) And for those of you who keep going around saying it's the same thing on all three sides, when was the last time you switched to those other two? Never, oh, you might want to give that a try. :aok
I said horde hording :D

All you guys fly boring.

LOL!!! your funny! Oh I was a bish for YEARS! Almost as many as Rook. Had a few months on and off as a Knight too.
If I knew your name in the game, I might look you up, help you out, show you a few things in this game I'm sure you don't even know are available. The problem with doing the same thing over and over again is you don't take much time to explore the possibilities. But hey, that is your loss. You can play the way you want :devil

first, it was meant to be humorous. to call anything and everything a "bish horde"
second, I don't think that was even a horde, it was santa claus aftermath. for all I know they probably did end up trying to take a base, as if you get more than 2 people in this game together that's what they MUST do.
third, I agree with you, I like hordes too, as I require stuff to shoot at. :aok
I would switch to the lowest # country in a heartbeat, however I haven't needed to switch countries during US prime time in some time, as bishops are ALWAYS outnumbered.

On the internet, since 1994, I have seen stupid.....55 gallon drum of stupid....aircraft carrier sized idiocy.....and now....Milky Way Galaxy sized stupidity pegging the needle...but that post takes the cake. I recommend it as the most brain dead mental flat liner post of 2013. Congratulations.

boo, sadly, we are wasting our time. The non-stop whine and belly-ache champion of the boards has won.
He has gone from bawling and squawling of other's gameplay to outright trolling.
